Why This Role Stands Out

This fully remote Ontology Architect role offers a unique opportunity to shape the foundational knowledge graph for cutting-edge Agentic AI, allowing you to directly influence client strategy and drive innovation. You'll thrive here if you're a skilled semantic modeler with expertise in graph technologies and a passion for translating complex business concepts into robust ontologies, all while enjoying the flexibility of remote work. If you're ready to make a significant impact and grow your career in a dynamic AI landscape, this is the perfect next step.

Job Description

Seeking a client-facing Ontology Architect to design the licensing ontology and knowledge-graph foundation for the WBD Agentic AI engagement. The candidate will work directly with business SMEs and architects, translate licensing concepts and policies into semantic models, and provide technical guidance to onsite and offshore engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

Lead client workshops to understand licensing concepts, rights, restrictions, territories, platforms, and business rules.
Design ontology models covering concepts, relationships, taxonomies, hierarchies, cardinalities, and constraints.
Develop and govern semantic models using OWL, RDF, SHACL, and SPARQL.
Map ontology concepts to authoritative enterprise data sources, including Snowflake.
Define knowledge-graph structures, identifiers, provenance, lineage, and ontology versioning.
Align ontology design with Agentic AI, deterministic rules, evidence traceability, and explainable decisions.
Guide ontology, data, AI, application, and QA teams during implementation and testing.
Review technical deliverables and present architecture decisions, risks, and recommendations to client stakeholders.

Mandatory Skills

Strong hands-on experience in enterprise ontology and knowledge-graph design.
Expertise in OWL, RDF, RDFS, SHACL, SPARQL, taxonomies, and semantic modelling.
Experience with graph platforms such as Amazon Neptune, Stardog, GraphDB, Neo4j, Apache Jena, or equivalent.
Experience mapping ontologies to databases, APIs, metadata platforms, or cloud data warehouses.
Knowledge of entity resolution, canonical identifiers, provenance, lineage, and ontology governance.
Understanding of GenAI, Agentic AI, RAG, LLM grounding, and deterministic rule engines.
Strong client-facing communication, workshop facilitation, architecture review, and team-guidance skills.

Preferred Skills

Media and Entertainment experience, particularly content licensing, rights management, or intellectual property.
Experience integrating ontologies or knowledge graphs with AI or decision-support solutions.
Exposure to AWS, Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Neptune, Snowflake, and Python.
Experience with tools such as Protg, TopBraid EDG, PoolParty, or Stardog Studio.
